National Pledge of Allegiance

On Friday, October 12, at  2 p.m. E.D.T., North Bay Elementary School joined at least 50,000,000 other students across America in pledging allegiance to our country.  The event was organized by the United States Education Secretary Rod Paige who contacted 100,000 schools nationwide asking them to participate in the "Pledge Across America." North Bay students and staff proudly said the Pledge of Allegiance to their flag.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
